Misleading advertisements covers all sectors of business across the country. The vulnerable sections of the society living in the backward and rural areas are the worst sufferers. To tackle the menace of misleading advertisements in such areas, the roles of VCOs are perceived to be of great importance. The VCOs working in various parts of the country with their experience in handling consumer related issues may help identifying misleading advertisements and suggest appropriate action to the consumers, State Governments and local self-Governments.

Suggestions are invited on the role of the voluntary consumer organisations in tackling the menace of Misleading Advertisements.

The last date for submission of your comments is 23rd January 2015.

UIDAI: Website is very slow for AAdhar seeding for LPG. Request the Government to quickly ramp up the speed so that all India seeding/CTC happens at required speed to enable all LPG customers to benefit. Currently UIDAI website is slow during day + night time. Other than speed the UIDAI website experience is good. Thanks

1. Scrutinizing if the claims in the advertisement holds true. and if not then those advertisments shall not only be banned but also penalized. E.g there is lot of fairness Ads. 2. Several of the advertisement are driving people towards religious superficiality, actually they effect the mind of the people. 3. cyber advertisement shall be scrutinized separately and shall be brought under cyber laws. 4. The vulgarity in the Ads shall be curbed specially those of De Odorants and of Family planning

We know about 3-level Consumer protection courts. We also know about consumer forums. We know how distt. Collectors/ police etc are authorised. But, with all these the PRESENT QUERY TOO presents unsurmountable dilemma facing us! If a FAIR-AND LOVELY can exist fooling whole 125 crore-population, rest products too can go on fooling us with unholy misleading advts. With Watchdogs, Distt. collectors can be empowered to slap hefty fines on dupers and/or stiff prison-terms. STRONG WILL SHOWS WAY!

Business organisations are legal institutions and do business according to "their interpretation" of laws. We need very clearly defined laws. Ambiguities need to be eliminated. Surrogate - misleading advertising should be made illegal. ALL advertising should be subject to service change. Royalties on "brand name use" should be taxed. Patent rules need to be made more realistic and consumer friendly. Competition laws need to be clearly defined - made fair for all players, big and small.
